Ingredients:

– 800 g shoulder of lamb, trimmed and cubed
– 4 tbsp. olive oil
– 2 large lemons
– 1 bunch of flat-leaf parsley
– 3 or 4 cloves of garlic
– 1 level tbsp. turmeric
– 1 level tbsp. sumac
– 250g bulgur wheat or couscous
– 50g raisins
– salt and pepper
– 1 small bunch of mint
– 4 scallions
– 3 tomatoes

Method:

1. Mix 2 tbsp. of olive oil with the juice of half a lemon, 2-3 tbsp. of chopped flat-leaf parsley, the peeled and sliced garlic cloves, turmeric and sumac in a dish. Add the cubed meat, mix well, then cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
2. Place the bulgur wheat and raisins in a mixing bowl. Pour in 250 ml of boiling water, add a little salt and leave to swell.
3. Meanwhile, chop the rest of the flat-leaf parsley, scallions and mint. De-seed and then dice the tomatoes. Juice the remaining lemons.
4. Pour 2 tbsp. olive oil over the bulgur wheat, mix well with a fork to distribute, then add the rest of the ingredients (add lemon juice to taste). Mix and season to taste. Cover and leave in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
5. About 30 minutes before serving, take the meat out of the fridge, thread onto 8 kebab sticks making sure to remove any pieces of garlic. Season with a little salt and pepper.
6. Grill the kebabs on a barbecue or in a grill pan.
7. Serve straight away with the tabbouleh.

Tip: The longer you marinate the meat, the softer and more flavoursome it will become.
